3. Visions

Some things in life are almost unbelievable, aren’t they? Amazing is the power of God that gives us the freedom to act and think in a universe that remains ever so completely within His control. How is it that God is able to give us such a gift of freedom while promising also that we will never fall outside His grace and His plan? The vision of a life lived completely within God’s intention is a vision of peace and happiness, a vision of design and ultimate beauty.

The knowledge that we are in the hands of a nurturing and gracious God is the light that will guide the dark and difficult paths. Listen to the words of Mary in Amy Grant’s song “Breath of Heaven:” (www.amygrant.com)

I have traveled many moonless night
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I’ve done
Holy Father, you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now
